Moses - is faithful - neeman , a prefect or superintendent. So Samuel is termed, I Samuel 2:35; I Samuel 3:20; David is so called, I Samuel 18:27, Neeman , and son-in-law of the king. Job 12:20, speaks of the Neemanim as a name of dignity. It seems also to have been a title of respect given to ambassadors, Proverbs 13:17; Proverbs 25:13. Calmet well observes that the word fidelity is often used for an employ, office, or dignity, and refers to I Chronicles 9:22, I Chronicles 9:26, I Chronicles 9:31; II Chronicles 31:12, II Chronicles 31:15; II Chronicles 34:12, etc. Moses was a faithful, well-tried servant in the house of God, and therefore he uses him as a familiar, and puts confidence in him.
